This is the 14:00 ex-Slaggyford service, and will form the last return trip of the day, departing at 16:00. Hauled by "303" and banked by "Green Dragon" [Hunslet power !] ... quite a few passengers, I was pleased to see.

Indeed a rare sight - Perkins hauling the last service of the day, as it arrives at Dalegarth. I think that this is the first time I've seen Perkins out on the main line, running service trains, other than at a gala. Perkins is substituting for River Irt, who had failed [broken down] earlier in the day. The necessary repairs appeared to have been completed by the time the down train returned to Ravenglass, as R. Irt was back in the Engine Shed as we went past. HTT[24thJune2025] - the wider platform at Dalegarth, and additional nearby areas, are well supplied with tables & seats. {and shade, dog bowls etc}

Under the new all-over roof at Alston. No.18 aka "Old Rusty" has been sat in Platform 2 as part of running around the passenger train in Platform 1, it will haul the next train to & from Slaggyford in a few minutes. It's normally the station shunter, but due to a problem it is deputising for the rostered steam loco. [Focus could be better, apologies, I think the camera's setting wasn't correct]
